James 4:1-3

Passions and Pride

4:1 Where do the conflicts and where do the quarrels among you come from? Is it not from this, from your passions that battle inside you? 4:2 You desire and you do not have; you murder and envy and you cannot obtain; you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask; 4:3 you ask and do not receive because you ask wrongly, so you can spend it on your passions.


tn The word “where” is repeated in Greek for emphasis.

tn Grk “from here.”

tn Grk “in your members [i.e., parts of the body].”
